Sorry to hear you ad problems but sound like quite a few people have problems with it. A young guy in our hotel had his tattoo blister badly too. We told him to put ice on it and keep it out of the sun for several days (luckily he said he would have only been sitting in the shade all day drinking at the pool bar any way)and it seemed to go down. But later we saw an older fellow who had his stomach tattoed a while ago that had left a large ugly red scar that looked permanent. We were told its because some of the side street operators thin the stuff with petrol which is what causes the blistering.
